Advising

ISSS provides scheduled, remote advising appointments and in-person, walk-in advising.

Remote Scheduled Advising Appointments

Remote advising appointments can be booked 6 days in advance.

Student Advising: Remote ISSS Advising Appointment 

• Select the appointment type (e.g., General, Sponsored Student) to see available appointment dates and times.
  • Students sponsored by Aramco Services, the Kuwait Cultural Office, Embassy of Oman, SABIC, SACM, SCO, or Fulbright, select "Sponsored Student Remote ISSS Advising"

Canceling an Appointment

If you are unable to attend your remote advising appointment, cancel your appointment in advance so another student can schedule an appointment at that time.

• If you cancel and rebook your appointment, use the Join Meeting link in the email for the new (uncanceled) appointment.
  • An advisor will not join you in the meeting room for the canceled appointment.

Scholar and Host Department Appointments

International scholars in J-1, H-1B, TN, E-3, or LPR status and their host department should contact the ISSS advisor assigned to the department directly to schedule an appointment.

In-Person Walk-In Advising Appointments

In-person, walk-in advising hours are posted on the right side of this webpage.

• In the event of a non-holiday closure or temporary change in advising hours, information will be posted on the ISSS homepage.

Checking-In for Walk-In Advising

To facilitate your check-in at the office, come prepared with your university ID number (student ID, employee ID, or Temp ID).

Upon entering the office lobby, go to the ISSS laptop on the right side of the office. Complete the Front Desk Check-In form, entering your University ID when prompted.

Instructions for Accessing Your University ID 

• While the Front Desk Check-In form allows you to enter your university email address instead of your university ID number, entering your university ID number ensures that ISSS accesses the correct client record. Entering an email address is less accurate.
  • If you choose to enter a university email address instead of your university ID, enter your first.last@colorado.edu email address (not IdentiKey@colorado.edu).
